The North East's Leading Makeup Academy!

The North East Makeup Academy is designed to help potential makeup artists and individuals serious about becoming a working MUA gain the skills they need to succeed. We will give you useful help, tips and advice to give you the best possible start in the beauty and fashion industry.

NEMUA mentors have experienced first-hand what it is like to change from a 9-5 job and start a career in makeup artistry and take the plunge to becoming a self employed MUA. After researching and training personally in London we have taken that experience and designed courses that will offer you city training at an affordable cost, and cutting out the expense of travel and accommodation that would be required if going further afield for training.

Our courses are designed to provide you with the skills you need to succeed and we give you real world advice and the do’s and don’ts to make your way in the industry.

We are working makeup artists so for those students that wish to gain ‘hands on’ experience we can arrange assisting days where you can work with our makeup artists on location. Whether that’s a photo shoot or being part of someone’s big day where you can assist and learn. This will give you a good feel for the Industry so you are not overwhelmed when you start to work and build your clientele.

Above all we want you to really have fun and enjoy your experience with us. We hope you will make friends and good contacts training with us. We strive to provide an upbeat environment to prepare you for your new journey as a professional makeup artist.

The academy was designed to deliver fantastic makeup training for anyone that wants to learn. With our training, advice and support we’re sure you can make this money back very quickly whilst enjoying your dream job! With our experience you gain valuable information that will save you money when you start your new career.

We can also offer you FREE business advice with our local mentors and local web design services. We want you to succeed! We have made all the silly mistakes in the beginning and we want to help you to become the best you possibly can. We have good connections with local businesses, photographers, professional makeup artist and models . This will get you assisting, making contacts and gaining experience, word spreads very quickly if you’re talented!

Satisfaction Guarantee We pride ourselves on our training and we really want you to enjoy your time with NEMUA. If you have any issues please contact us and we will be happy to discuss this with you. If you don’t feel like you have learned enough, we’ll happily ask you to return to us on the same course you previously paid for.

As well as the fantastic training you will receive from us we also offer ongoing support once you have your practical skills. We will help you to assemble a makeup kit so you can start working as soon as possible.

We then pass you on to our business development mentors who will give you FREE government funded support. This includes workshops tailored to business development, mentoring and social media tuition. You will also be introduced to our media and web design expert, Andrew from Zodiac Digital. He will offer website advice, whether that is setting up a new site, or improving your existing one and, more social media support!

As well as everything we offer we also let you take advantage of our FREE student refresher days! This is held once a month at the academy. You can bring a model and practice anything you have learned whilst training with us. It’s a great opportunity to perfect your craft, meet former students of NEMA and to network. You will also be self employed so it is a great day to remember you are part of the NEMUA network.
